Arugu-ams
The second member, AMS, is 'mouth', also in place names where rivers in the sea water (egǃ Garib ams for Oranjemund), or it is used for 'waterhole', 'wasserloch', eg. At Schultze Anuk 164, 169 e.v., watch Houniams. The first member, Aru-B, is the 'Kirschrindenbaum' Albizzia Anthelminthica A. Brogn. (Ponnighaus 1931 Journal 6 28-9). The -s also have locative function. So the whole: 'The place of the waterhole at the aru trees.'
